Introduction

This segment of the Central Polk Parkway (SR 570B) will be a four-lane (two lanes in each direction) toll facility that extends from US 17 to SR 60, a distance of more than two miles. Design is the third phase of the FDOT project development process. Construction plans, specifications and final estimates to build a project are developed during this phase.

The Central Polk Parkway (SR 570B) design started in Summer 2020 and is ongoing. Current efforts within the project limits include:

  • Evaluating partial cloverleaf interchange at US 17
  • Evaluating at-grade intersection at SR 60
  • Evaluating a shared use path from US 17 to SR 60
  • Analyzing environmental impacts
  • Acquiring Right-of-Way
  • Conducting additional analysis needed to finalize the design
